Allie is finally eating from tongs! The last feeding she took from the tongs with no issues. I made her wait a bit again before feeding so maybe the extended time between feedings gave her a better feed mode? Either way, I'm happy and will be putting her back on her normal feeding schedule. Hopefully she'll continue to eat this way.
Also, I managed to get a really good measurement on these girls tonight and I'm impressed! My eyeballing them and using myself and the boyfriend to estimate their growth was not quite accurate but close. I measured Allie to be 90" (7 1/2') and she wasn't completely straight. Baby Girl measured in at 98" (8'1"). Both girls are 16 months old now. I guess these are within normal range for these girls?
Now to get their weights! :D
Also, now that both are on 2 jumbos a feeding, I had been feeding every 2 weeks and it seemed to satisfy them. I noticed the last couple of feedings they've been more active sooner than normal. I'm not sure if I should up their food to 3x jumbos every two weeks and see what that does or should I feed 2x jumbos every week? I'm still having no luck with finding feeder rabbits.
And I guess at the size they are now, the Christmas totes are going too small and will they be ok for them for the next 2 to 3 months while I work on getting them some permanent enclosures made? The tubs they're in now are way too small. I'd like to give them something a bit more comfortable while I work on getting some enclosures built. I would have already had them built this summer if all this other personal crap wouldn't have happened. :(
